And God Did It
Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. begins Prayers with Purpose by examining the prayer of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10. He encourages intentional prayer that asks God to change the person praying, rather than merely changing circumstances or other people. Even a short prayer can have a clear purpose.
The message follows requests for blessing, enlarged territory, God’s accompanying hand and protection from evil. Bishop Hill connects enlargement to ownership, influence and responsibility, and urges listeners to remain dependent on God as they grow. The closing emphasis is on asking God for personal transformation and trusting the God who answered Jabez.

From Luke 23:26, we saw how Jesus—our ultimate caregiver—was cared for in a moment of intense human need when Simon of Cyrene was seized and made to carry the cross behind Him. This moment invites us to take seriously the humanity of Jesus and the reality that even those who pour out for others can become weak, burdened, and in need of support. We were challenged to learn how to care well for the people who care for us by being cognizant of their needs, compelled to act, and willing to build t…
